Chapter 1059: Fighting for Favor

[Recite the URL silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]

"This is Da Song's War Department!" Zhao Xu said to the kings.

This was the last stop he arranged for the kings.

Compared with yesterday, what he showed today was really a tough dish.

"This...it turns out that this is how Dasong's muskets and artillery are produced."

At the moment, the place where everyone is standing is the workshop where the gun barrel and gun barrel are drilled.

Seeing the castings turning into hollow barrels one after another, Hojo Kawakei's lower body almost fell off.

This barrel would have taken a Japanese craftsman a month to polish.

What surprised him most was that Dasong's artillery was also drilled out.

"This is just one of the processes." Zhao Xu said.

He is not afraid of these kings watching. With the complexity of these techniques, they cannot learn them secretly.

After all, this small gun barrel has already involved many technologies such as steelmaking, turning machines, and electric motors.

Before everyone came to their senses, Zhao Xu took them to the assembly workshop again.

Here, craftsmen are assembling Qin-style rifles.

In wars, weapons are always subject to wear and tear, so the production of Qin-style rifles has never stopped.

After staying in the assembly workshop for a while, Zhao Xu went to the metal bullet manufacturing workshop with others.

After witnessing that Da Song's muskets actually used metal-cased bullets, they fell into sluggishness again.

Finally, Zhao Xu led the kings to the school grounds.

There are physical displays of Qin-style rifles, hand-cranked machine guns, and breech-loaded artillery.

Zhao Xu also specially ordered the soldiers to perform Qin-style rifle and machine gun target shooting in front of these kings.

"Click, click, click..." The clear sound of the machine gun sounded, which was like the sound of nature to Zhao Xu.

But for the kings of various countries, it was undoubtedly King Yan's direct warning to them.

If they dare to collude with the Westerners in the future, it will endanger Dasong's interests.

They might be about to get a taste of these muskets and artillery.

After only staying in the Military Division for half a day, Zhao Xu led everyone back.

His goal has been achieved. As for how to maintain a relationship with Dasong in the future, it is a question they need to consider.

He returned to the palace with everyone.

After sitting down in the meeting hall, the King of Korea stood up first and gave Zhao Xu a deep look.

"Your Highness, Goryeo will be Dasong's most loyal slave from now on. Goryeo is willing to be driven by Your Highness and do the hard work of dogs and horses." Pu Zhengshuo said seriously.

Before, he didn't have a clear understanding of the gap between Goryeo and Dasong.

Now that I have seen Da Song’s true hidden strength with my own eyes, I am completely surrendered from the bottom of my heart.

Furthermore, Goryeo was so close to Dasong, so he naturally wanted to get closer to the water and the tower first to get the moon.

After all, the leftover rice scraps from Da Song’s meal were enough for them, Gao Li, to be full.

Therefore, we should not please the King of Yan who is about to ascend the throne at this time, hoping to benefit Goryeo in the future, but when?

Furthermore, while Goryeo was obedient to Dasong, he was dissatisfied with Japan, Jiaozhi, etc.

He was even more worried about them coming to share King Yan's favor.

"It's better to talk nicely than to do something nice. We in Japan will win His Highness's appreciation with practical actions." Hojo Kawakei looked at the King of Korea and snorted.

In their hearts, they Japanese people have a natural sense of superiority towards Korea.

Think Korea is weak and a loser.

Goryeo wanted to compete with them for favor, and they naturally couldn't stand it.

Ono Town and the other four people usually couldn't urinate in a pot, but now they were united in an unprecedented way when facing Goryeo, and they all came out to stand with Hojo Kawakei.

"Your Highness, we Jiaozhi are just wanderers from Da Song. We have the blood of Da Song in our bodies." Just as the King of Korea and the Four Kings of Japan were competing with each other, Ruan Xiong suddenly shouted and knelt down. "Please, Your Highness, do not regard us as a vassal state, just treat us as a state in Dasong."

"Shameless!" Hearing this, the four kings of Goryeo and Dongying almost said in disdain.

"So, we Koreans also migrated from the Dasong territory." The King of Korea shouted.

"We Japanese people are also people from the Central Plains who crossed the river and multiplied." Hojo Kawakei also shouted.

When the King of Luzon, King of Funan and others saw this, they naturally did not dare to lag behind. They all talked about the relationship between their country and Dasong, and they were noisy for a while, which exhausted the translator in the palace.

Zhao Xu listened to their quarrel happily at first, and finally signaled everyone to be quiet.

Then he said: "Okay, okay, don't argue anymore. I always listen to his words and watch his actions. Since you all admit that you have the same ancestor as Da Song, or have some blood connection, then Go back and make a note in your history books to teach the people under your command.”

"Yes, Your Highness." Everyone responded in unison.

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Actually, I understand your thoughts. It is nothing more than obtaining the technologies you have seen in the past two days. Don't be anxious about this. When the time comes, I will teach it to you and help you establish the steam industry. "

After a pause, he continued, "There is only one thing. Your people must learn the Dasong characters thoroughly. Otherwise, you won't even be able to understand the mechanical instructions."

The steam industry is bound to be eliminated.

Exchanging these backward things for the vassal states to actively promote Dasong culture, unify characters, weights and measures, and various industrial standards will undoubtedly be beneficial to Dasong.

First, selling steam industry technology and equipment can make a lot of money from the vassal country.

Secondly, cultural unification can also enhance the centripetal force of Dasong, allowing vassal states to gradually integrate into Dasong.
